Felicien Lozes and Robert A. Ainsworth, Jr., who composed last year's first team will represent Loyola on the affirmative side of the question, resolved: "That Congress should enact legislation providing for the centralized control of industry." Baylor will defend the negative. Leo C. Zinser, secretary of the Debate Society, and also a member of last year's team, will act as chairman of the debate. Tomorrow night's engagement will mark the third meeting on the forensic platform of Loyola and Baylor. It will be a "rubber" contest in as much as Loyola team was victorious in IMB, and Baylor succeeded in defeating Loyola last year. The Baylor team comes here with nine debates on the Pi Kappa Delta subject already behind them, while this will be Loyola's first intercollegiate contestFELICIEN Y. LOZES ROBERT A. AINSWORTH, JR Board Objects To Wearing of Foreign Awards Decision Reached After Thororough Investigation Into Students Opinion "L" IS DESTINED TO COME INTO ITS OWN Ruling Will Go Into Effect With Opening Of School Next September By Larry Bab»t The official letter of Loyola University, the "L" is finally destined to co: . • into its OHCn, according to the ruling of the Student Council made at its last meeting on February 16. Beginning with the opening of the scholastic session next fall, all foreign letters of other high schools and colleges will be banned from display on the campus. The sweaters may be worn inside out or the letters must be ripped off. The Council reached this decision only after a thorough survey of the students' feelings in the matter. In the actual vote taken in the Council there was only one dissenting voice. The privilege allowing students to wear sweaters they had won in high school has made Loyola look like a parade ground, it was asserted, and lessened considerably the prestige connected with the wearing of the "L". Freshmen, in their first few months at college, are attracted to their high school colleagues forming unsociable cliques, it was further argued, principally through the presence of these different letters. The prohibition of letters will make it easier to break down the natural barrier raised through high school competition and place sverybody on an equal footing, rhis is exceptionally important, iince past records are only records and worth must be proven it Loyola. In its final analysis, the measure was effected, to make Loyola more ;losely united and the students more Loyola minded. 'TOP' THUNDERS DOWN STRAIGHTAWAY; TIES WORLD INDOOR MARK Loyola Star Defeats Singer, National Indoor Champ In Two Heats 10,000 SPECTATORS SEE TIME EQUALLED TWICE Simpson, Who Beat 'Top' Three Years Ago Is Third By Two Feet Thundering down the boards of Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, Emmett Toppino, the New Orleans Flier from Loyola University of the South, equaled the world record of 6 1-5 seconds for the sixty-yard dash twice, to leave the 10,000 spectators who viewed the New York Athletic Club games marvelling at his dazzling speed. Toppino, the sprint sensation of the year, who has become popular overnight with New York fans, gave one of the most marvelous exhibitions of running ever to be witnessed in Manhattan. The Maroon Flash started his record-tying when he defeated Ira Singer, national indoor champion, in the semi-final, just prior to the running of the final heat in the classic 60-yard jaunt. He was away with the gun and held his lead all the way to the tape. Singer was finishing fast at the end. In the final Toppino came back with another of his famous bursts Emmett Toppino, Loyola sprint er who has equalled the worlC record for the sixty yard dasl three times in the last two weeks THESPIANS WILL RECEIVE AWARDS Awarding Of Prizes Delayed; Will Be Presented To Members Soon At a recent meeting of the Student Activity Board the Thespian representative brought up the question of the promised Thespian pins. The Rev. F. L. Janssen, S. J., director of Student Activities, said that there had been several delays but promised that they would be made within the next week or two. These pins were awarded to members of the Thespian and Auxiliary Thespians who had taken part and given commendable performances in several plays during last season. The design has been submitted and accepted; it will be a gold pin with two masks, one laughing and one serious—representing the two main main phases of acting, comedy and drama. Definite announcement as to when they will be given out and the names of the members who will receive the pins, will be given in the next issue of The Maroon. TRAFFIC HEAD SPEAKS TODAY Stuart Barnett, Southern Cotton Oil Manager To Analyze Problems Students in the college of Commerce and Finance will hear a lecture on "Traffic Problems of Today," by Mr. Stuart H. Barnett, Traffic Manager for the Southern Cotton Oil Co., in Marquette Auditorium at 11 o'clock this morning, it was announced by the Rev. J. A. Butt, S. J., regent of the Commerce school. This lecture is the first in a new series of talks by prominent business men of the city arranged for the finance scholars by the department heads. Attendance is compulsory for commerce students and all others are invited to attend, Fr. Butt said. STUDENTS GET CHANCE TO SELL ALL OLD BOOKS Tomorrow, Saturday, February 20, is Book Day, according to posters placed on the local bulletin boards in Marquette and Bobet halls. The University Supply Store of University of Alabama has agreed to give Loyola students a chance to dispose of any and all old textbooks tomorrow between the hours of 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. A representative of the Alabama store will appraise and buy all old second-hand books offered to him by Loyola students. The Alabama company bills itself as "The South's Book Center.Wooden Shoes Clap, Pipes Fume, Dutch Music Plays In "Hulda" Just one week from today Marquette Auditorium will be ablaze with lights, and gay with the decorations of the Netherlands. Gay first-night crowds will chat and joke, pink and purple tulips will nod in front of the footlights, and the cast backstage will be as nervous as the devil. But now— The hall has not yet been made beautiful by the guiding and deft hands of the L. A. S. C. decorators. The orchestra is just beginning to synchronize with the singers. The third act is slowly but surely impressing itself upon the histrionic ability of the performers."Okeh," says "Doc" Bonomo, for all the world like Walter Winchell. He takes that long, black cigar out of his mouth. "Let's get going." Clet Girard plays the first chord softly. Lloyd Salathe's high "Morton Downey" tenor rings out as clearly as a bell, "for Grandad Cats was a wonderful man—." The first act has begun once more. In the beginning of the second act there is a hitch. Rehearsal is halted. Dutchraaids and farmhands stop their dance. "It is getting time," says aur director, "to think about those sabots. You girls must get used to wooden shoes." "Ouch!" says Noel Cahill. "For Crying out loud!" supplements Loretto Morvant. The others merely smile. The rehearsal continues. The tremendously sad finale of the second act is reached. The whole cast lift their voices in the rising crescendo. "Tho I must say, 'My love adieu,' yet all my heart I give to you. Fate may send me from your side, you'll in my heart abide." Hulda (M ign on Deynoodt) is gently weeping upon Vrow's (Jean S. Owin) shoulder. The curtain rings down. Holiday There will be no classes in all departments of the Univenity, with exception of the Dental school, Monday, February 22, in accordance with the bi-centennial celebration of the birthday of George Washington. The announcement was made by the Rer. James A. Greeley, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences. Classes will also be suspended in the night extension course. Regular classes will be resumed Tuesday morning at 8 a. m. LOYOLA DEGREES PARALLEL FRENCH French Minister Of Education Recognizes Loyola Arts Degrees In a letter to the Rev. J. W. Hynes, S. J., President of Loyola, last week, M. M. de Simonin, the French Consul General at New Orleans, announced that the diplomas of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science issued by Loyola are admitted as equivalents of the French Baccalaureate. The statement was made after the French Consul had been advisul o( the recognition by the French minister of Public Education.The letter follows: Feb. 12, 1932. The President, Loyola University, New Orleans, La. Dear Sir: I take the pleasure in advising you that, by a decree of the French minister of Public Education, by date of October 26, 1931, the Diplomas of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science issued by your institution are admitted as equivalents of the French Baccalaureate.I beg to remain, Yours truly, (Signed) M. de Simonin, French Consul General. Snoopy Reporter Discovers First Publications Office in Basement By Edward J. Luca* Green walls, telephones, new typewriters, desk lamps, mail baskets and what have you. Is this a difference from the office of 1923 when the publications were gotten out in the paint store room in the basement of Marquette Hall? Has an evolution taken place? Let's trace the advancement of the Publication Office. The first office of the Maroon and Wolf was that small room in the basement of Marquette Hall that is used at present for a store room. This room, with just one small window and furnished with a few chairs and two tables was the meeting place of the students interested in publishing the university paper and yearbook. Here they worked hard in getting out the first publication of Loyola. Several years passed and then came the erection of Bobet Hall and the faculty decided to move the publication into new quarters and the great change came about. How different this new office. Two desks and a table, a file cabinet, typewriters, and best of all, four windows to provide light and cool breezes to soothe the nerves of those working away hours at a time to make the "deadline." Then came the announcement that the Band room was to be moved to the site of the Publication office, and once again the boys took new quarters. This time they settled in the room on the ground floor of Bobet Hall, next to the room housing the seismograph. This spot, a little smaller than the preceding location, satisfactorily served as the headquarters of The Maroon and Wolf, and a paper-covered floor and the general run of affairs gave it the color of the headquarters of a "big daily." The university was fast growing now. The new building was being crowded and the radio station expanded. Marquette Hall had housed the Arts and Science and Law Departments, but these two were filled to capacity. A change had to be made. The remodeling crew entered Bobet Hall during the summer of 1931, and when they departed the dear old publication office was just a memory and the Law Department was to occupy the ground floor of Bobet Hall. Where to now was the question. Then the great news. The old Law Library of Marquette Hall was rejuvenated, divided into three offices and fitted out in the latest fashion. MAROON STAFF MEETS TUESDAY Publication To Set Precedent When Refreshments Will Be Served At Meeting Members of both the business and editorial staff and all reporters on the Maroon will meet in the Gothic Tea Room next Tuesday night, February 23, at 9 o'clock, for the purpopse of reorganizing both ends of the paper's personnel, it was announced this week by J. Skelly Wright, business manager of the student weekly publication . Loyola students who wish to apply for positions on the Maroon for next year will hand their applications in to the editor or the business manager, Wright said. All applicants' are invited to be present at the meeting of the publication staff next Tuesday night. Temple Black, editor-in-chief, will preside, and the Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S. J., faculty advisor of the Maroon, will address the gathering. Staff members with guilty consciences will please bring their arguments with them. Refreshments will be served.
